Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

I have a 2008 FJ with DRL. Because I work nights and am usually driving at night, I leave the headlights on and they will shut off automatically, either by time delay, or when I depress the lock button twice. It's been working fine and I left the FJ in the garage on Thurs when we left on a motorcycle trip. When we got back today, the auto off doesn't work, not with the remote lock button or on the time delay.

Any ideas or what to check? I checked the emergency brake but it's fully depressed and off. Not sure what else to try.

I had this problem shortly after I got mine home. The system would work to turn off the lights, and then come back on again in a half an hour or so. The alarm they installed tapped the wrong wire for the power. Also, if you turn the engine off then turn the lights off and on, it will not work.

Have you added any electrics lately? Remote starter, security, etc.

For me, I start the truck, put the headlights on, then turn it off the engine, exit the vehicle lock it (once or twice) and lights should go off.

If it doesn't work I think taking it in to dealership is the only solution. (if still under warranty no problems.)
